Why I am not a vegan

[Unbound]

My qualm here is with dogmatic thinking, not with whether or not compassion is virtuous. As I have said before, I am not the one mowing lawns or dismembering cows.

You both have your own idea of what is compassionate and what true "loving" activity entails. This is true for everyone. Each whom is seeking to be compassionate is only able to do so within the capacity that they are able to grasp it with their own understanding. I grasp it in my own way and I work to use it, practically and actively each and every day and your attempt to argue that I do not is little more than an attempt to put your mind within my own.

I assure you, I am in no way blind to the immense amount of suffering on this planet and my heart is not deaf to its cries.

All activity in which co-Creation is the playing of God. You seem to phrase/frame this idea negatively when all I am doing is pointing out that each is the Creator and so each activity is the Creator at work.

It is true we have to choose, but why should you expect that every single path of service to others will look like your own?
